Wowieee...............I got to be a guest design team member at TOMIC, for this challenge, #35- Valentine Text & heart shape! I decided to make a card book, and this was my design! I layered and distressed all the papers, did some cut work too. I made the hearts, and in the big center heart cut out, I inserted some acrylic with a rub on too! On the inside I added some pretty flowers, a metal "Love" embellishment, some lace, and even some ric-rac around the edge! Tilda and Edwin are colored with distress inks! I hope you like it, was so much fun to create! Thanks TOMIC for this wonderful gift! Teresa*

This is for two challenges, Just Magnolia (sketch) and Magnolia Down Under (Edwin only). Used some new papers I got, love the black brown colors of this card. Just added a heart I made, and some ribbon! I distressed all the papers! Thanks so much for takin;' a peek! Teresa*

This was sooooooooo much fun! Used some of my new stamps, and they are colored with distress inks. I made the big heart behind Tilda, I layered and distressed all the papers, added some vintage lace and a chipboard tree! Oh......I also added glossy accent to all the little windows, looks pretty cool in real life!This is for several challenges....Just Magnolia (windows or doors), Magnolia Mania (sketch-the main part behind Tilda has the sketch),Magnolia-licious Highlights(based on love-valentines). Thanks so much for stoppin' by and takin'a peek! Teresa*

This is for the Teddy Bo challenge, Delightful Sketches(vintage distressed), Dream Valley(animals). I colored Bea in distress inks. I layered and distressed all the papers, added some pretty lace, a pretty corner piece, some hand made curled roses,a bow, and some cool vintage "twigs" Oh, almost forgot, there are some pretty litle pink, and white pearls added too!I also added a couple rub-ons to Beas pic, still not sure if I'm happy with the result, but they are there now!! Hope you like it, and thanks so much for stoppin' by and takin'a peek! Teresa*

This is for TOMIC......sketch & fabric! I used the sketch and the material I used was that cotton lace with ribbon laced through it. I also used two of my new stamps, and paper that I won from TOMIC!! Was an awesome prize! I love the stamps I won, and the papers and flowers are sooooo pretty! This was a fun little card to make! I first made the front of card, then I cut out the heart design, and slid some acetate in between papers to make a window for Edwin to look out! The images are colored with distress inks, and I also layered and distressed all the papers! I did some cut work on the branches around heart. Added a couple butterflies, and one little heart with "love" on it! Hope you like it, and thanks so much for stoppin' by and takin'a peek! Teresa*

This was a fun little card book to make! I love that little Angel.....isn't he just a kick!! He's colored with distress inks! I layered and distressed all the papers, made the "fake" pages with my MS embosser. I made the hinges using an old hinge as my pattern, these are made of black cardstock. I put stitching all around with my white gel pen.I put lace around the inside of the heart in front of card -which the heart also has acetate inside it to make it look like a window, made a couple of the hearts, and I made the lace trim around angel with my MS punch! Hope you like it! It's for several challenges, Anything Goes, Paper Play(stitches), Delightful Sketches(pink, black, silver).Thanks so much for stoppin' by and takin'a peek! Teresa*

This was my first time coloring a black and white image of Tilda, or any stamp for that matter! Wasn't sure if I could do it.....but here it is! I went ahead and did the whole theme of the card in black and white for Magnolia Down Under.......and I used the sketch from Just Magnolia! Was an interesting little card to make....made me put my thinken' cap on!! Hope you like it, and thanks so much for stoppin' by and takin'a peek! Teresa*
